It's weird because I had a dream where I died but my spirit was still able to roam the Earth and see everything...
But does it happen?
Out of body experiences are metaphysical, not physical. When you are asleep you are partly independent of time, space and personal identity. Atheist deny the metaphysical, so for them, dream are just a bad reaction to what they had for supper ;-) Regardless, the meaning of dreams is mostly too incoherent to interpret anyway. You are trying to interpret your dream as a post-life ... but it may have been a pre-life, a parallel life or just something you had for supper that disagreed with you ;-))
A few nights back, I saw my parents, who have been "gone" for a number of years ... didn't seem to be much like heaven, hell, purgatory or a past memory. Upon waking I was just happy to see them, and left it at that.
